“Still the G.Skill DDR3 PC3-12800 CL9 (6GB) memory kit proved to be quite flexible managing CAS8 at 1333MHz and CAS7 at 1066MHz. Also keep in mind that G.Skill is asking just $220 US for this triple-channel memory kit which helps them to undercut the competition. Furthermore at this price you will find quite a few DDR3-1333 memory kits anyway so it is probably worth investing in this memory for the extra headroom.”Here are some more Memory articles from around the web:
